Transportation specialists use a crane to move a stripped-down F-35 airframe from a self-propelled dolly to the tarmac, where Fleet Readiness Center East transportation specialists will tow it into place. The airframe arrived at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, aboard a barge via the Intracoastal Waterway from MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina. FRCE will use the stripped-down airframe as a depot maintenance trainer and in engineering testing, which will allow for the development of improved tooling, maintenance procedures and sustainment practices.
